Heres a great write up on the new animes coming up in the next couple months for summer season:
http://giapet.net/2008/06/11/shall-i-compare-thee-to-a-summers-anime/
Heres a few that I think will be good(taken from the link above):
Name: Blade of the Immortal
Genre: Action/Historical Drama
Starts: July 14
At long, glorious last, a Blade of the Immortal anime! Well, or so some fans think– others fear that the meticulous style of Hiroaki Samura’s original manga will be lost in the animation, but only time will tell. The story follows Manji, a samurai who is given the curse of immortality and must defeat 1000 evil men in order to die peacefully. Manji meets a young girl named Rin, the daughter of a samurai family that was slaughtered by a man named Anotsu. Manji agrees to act as her bodyguard and help her achieve vengeance for her parents, as part of his quest.
Name: Koihime Musou
Genre: Fantasy
Starts: July 4
The requisite eroge-turned-anime, Koihime Musou follows the adventures of a high school boy named Kazuto who gets sucked into a Romance of the Three Kingdoms-esque fantasy world populated by hot babes.
Name: Natsume Yuujinchou
Genre: Supernatural
Starts: July 8
Lucky Natsume! He’s picked up his grandmother’s ability to see spirits– and her “Book of Friends,” which his less-than-kind granny used to bind the spirits to her against their will. Now Natsume has to dissolve all the contracts he’s inherited by tracking down the spirits…or being tracked down by them. And some of them are less than friendly…
Name: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Starts: July 11
No, it’s not some Haruhi ripoff. Haruka Nogizaka is the most beautiful, intelligent, kind, and unattainable girl at Yuuto’s school. So when he accidentally stumbles upon her one night and learns her secret, he’s stunned: she is a rabid, hardcore otaku. (Attractive female otaku? ZOMG IT’S A FANTASY SHOW!) Yuuto being the gentleman he is, he promises to keep her secret and becomes her confidante…and occasionally attendant as she heads into akiba
Name: Slayers REVOLUTION
Genre: Fantasy/Comedy
Starts: July 3
It took eleven years for this fourth season of Slayers to come about, and you can bet that fans of the classic fantasy parody/adventure series are rejoicing. Details on the plot, which is original rather than taken from Hajime Kanzaka’s novels, have been kept pretty mum, although you can expect to see the primary crew– petit sorceress Lina, intellectually-challenged knight Gourry, emo chimera Zelgadis, justice-loving Amelia, and mysteriuos priest Xellos –return. Some other familiar faces, such as Amelia’s dad Phil and the Gourry-obsessed Sylphiel, are rumored to return, as well as some characters from the novel we haven’t yet met in the anime, Rook and Mirina. A strange, slightly Pokemon-esque creature named Pokota is also set to appear.
Name: World Destruction ~Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokunin~
Genre: Fantasy
Starts: July 8
World Destruction is based on– or at least related to –an RPG being put out in Japan by Sega around the same time the anime airs. The plot revolves around Kirie, a boy who has immensely destructive powers for reasons he doesn’t know. He meets a group of people including a woman named Morte, who is part of a terrorist organization aimed at destroying the world. That’s about all we know, and that’s mostly about the game– Production I.G says that the anime will have a distinct story from the game’s.
Name: Zero no Tsukaima ~Princesses no Rondo~
Genre: Fantasy/Comedy/Fanservice
Starts: July 7
The adventures of spoiled tsundere magician Louise and her pervy familiar Saito continue in this third season, which promises buxom fairies, buxom teachers, buxom maids, buxom princesses, and of course, delicious flat-chested Louise. I’m in!
